Hey :) 

 

So I got Sidecar working on Catalina with my (unsupported) iPadAir 2 and like to share it with you.


usually Apple only allows Sidecar on the following devices, so if you have one of them, you probably don't need the patch.

However, if they still do not work with your hackintosh, you may give this a try.

 

    •    12.9-inch iPad Pro
    •    11-inch iPad Pro
    •    10.5-inch iPad Pro
    •    9.7-inch iPad Pro
    •    6th generation or later iPad or later
    •    iPad mini (5th generation)
    •    3rd generation iPad Air

 

So let's get started

 

What do you need

- working USB (obviously, the patch is USB only)

- a working iGPU

- Catalina

- iOS 13.1.2 (aka. newest by Oct. 2019)

 

1. In the terminal, do

sudo mount -uw / ; killall Finder

 

2. Open finder and move to

System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SideCarCore.framework/Versions/A/

 

3. rename or backup the existing SidecarCore executable.

 

4. drop the attached SidecarCore in the folder. 

 

That's it. Enjoy your new display!

The patch can be found on Macrumors posting from Jackluke, who probably also did the patching:
